Here some details: suprisingly there are already users of PR_SET_MM_x
operands, so we can't deprecate it (https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/5/6/127).
And then there was an attempt to change locks https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/
but since we're modifying mm-> entries we should gurd them against
simultaneous sys_brk call. Or I misunderstood you and you meant somthing
different?
